About

Who am I?

I am Javier Villagra, a Systems Engineer and seasoned Architect with over 12 years of experience designing and implementing complex systems for large banks and fintech. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with various clients across LATAM, assisting them in developing innovative solutions aligned with their business needs.

After years of designing large-scale solutions in the banking sector, I am convinced that architectural design is the key to delivering the right solutions. Doing it right involves crafting a solution that consistently aligns with the business plan throughout the project's lifecycle, efficiently and cost-effectively addressing the client's needs. This should be the guiding principle of any IT project—solving a specific problem in an effective and efficient way, rather than pursuing technology for its own sake. The strategy is paramount.

Leveraging a solid understanding of AI, I provide clients with a distinctive competitive advantage in today's global landscape. Specializing in developing AI solutions, my expertise extends to creating reliable models, robust projects, and effective governance processes.

Now, as an independent tech advisor and consultant, I leverage all my experience to assist startups and mid-sized companies in adopting industry best practices, empowering them to achieve their business objectives.

How do I help startups?

Industry architecture frameworks are heavy and challenging to implement, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises. 

Therefore, it is crucial to establish a customized approach to enterprise architecture based on an agile methodology, incorporating industry best practices and flexible enough to be tailored to the unique needs of each client.
